Flower in his new Wild gear. I'll never hate on the gold, but imo the bronze/brown set looked better.

Flower looking good in his Chicago gear with Minny.

Mrazek and Kallgren's St. Pats gear for Thursday's game

Interesting one here from last night:

Nedeljkovic briefly played in his Canes mask last night after a clip exploded on his Wings bucket.

I've been a ref at the USA Hockey level, and beer league for the last 8 years. Coaches are absolutely the worst, all their kids are going to the show lol. I prefer reffing beer league because I can actually chirp back when the guys are jawing at us.

As for doing anything directly related to goaltending, just watching other goalies play can help. The skating doesn't exactly translate due to the use of player skates. Getting used to player skates after exclusively playing goalie for so long was the biggest adjustment at first, but now I can go seamlessly between goalie and player skates. The only goalie habits that tend to impact my reffing are my desire for quick whistles on goalie covers, which admittedly sometimes results in plays being blown dead at a poor time for the attacking team.

Apologies for the block of text. After doing some quick research, out of the current goalies-including recent retirees-I'd say any of these are possible:

Rask 40 BOS--most goalie games played and wins, entire career in BOS

Miller 30 BUF--most goalie games played and wins, majority of career in BUF

Ward 30 CAR--most goalie games played and wins, Conn Smythe, entire career in CAR minus 33 games in CHI

Crawford 50 CHI--3rd most goalie games played and wins, 2 Cups, entire career in CHI (no, the preseason in NJ doesn't count)

Quick 32 LA--most goalie games played and wins, 2 Cups, Conn Smythe, entire career in LA

Carey Price 31 MTL--most goalie games played and wins, entire career in MTL

Anderson 41 OTT--most goalie games played and wins, majority of career in OTT

Fleury 29 PIT--most goalie games played and wins, 3 Cups, 13 seasons in PIT

Vasilevskiy 88 TB--most goalie games played and wins, 2 Cups and counting

Luongo 1 VAN--2nd most goalie games played, 1st in wins, Honor McLean as well--1st GP, 2nd wins

Fleury 29 VGK--most goalie games played and wins, face of the franchise for 4 years

Holtby 70 WSH--2nd most goalie games played and wins (both behind Kolzig), Cup winner, majority of career in WSH

Hellebuyck 37 WPG--most goalie games played and wins--re-retire number 37 in the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise for Dan Snyder

If I had to bet money on which of the above get their numbers retired at some point I'd bet on Rask, Ward, Crawford, Quick, Vasi.

Subbed in a game last week on their league's photo day, I'm buddies with the photographer so he snapped a bunch of good shots of me.
